Any floppies I had for storing data in the 90s have long ago been backed up on to CD's or flash drives. The only legacy storage I have are 100 meg zip disks that I have my business backed up on. And I'm about to clean them off as well.

Even so, I plan to keep an old computer with a floppy and a zip drive just in case I find something I missed.
